But at the time of that hug. I didn't realize my life would change forever. She gently pulled me in and whispered these two words, "I'm done." I was completely thrown off guard. I ask her what she meant. What do you mean you're done, done with what? She quietly whispered in my ear, I'm done with us. My heart sank and a numbness of emotions consumed every cell in my body. I couldn't grasp how we could be married for twenty years and now it was over. What about our kids? Divorce was not an option for me. But then again, it takes two for a relationship to be a relationship.</p><p><br></p><p>The <strong>gut wrenching blow</strong> of any life-changing experience is truly a time to reach <strong>deep within yourself</strong> and find out who you truly are and allow that person to come through, so you can experience <strong>happiness, peace, joy and love</strong>. </p><p><br></p><p>I waited <strong>16 months</strong> before starting the book. I had to live the emotions that would exude from my soul. Yeah, there were some long days and sleepless nights, most nights I didn't want to go to bed. I didn't want to wake up to a new day. There really weren't new days, they all felt used, dirty and embarrassing. I went to war with my emotional self for sixteen months. On the 16th month I felt good but not great even though I thought I was great. I realized that I had accepted divorce but I hadn't forgiven my wife. That thought was my catharsis.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Westfalia is a story that embarks in a dream that takes you on a spiritual adventure filled with past, present and future experiences.

The main character is confused about the reasoning for his wife's request because he believed that their marriage was immune to divorce. Unfortunately, he missed something within their love. While he is unsure of what he did to contribute to the divorce, he automatically puts the blame all on himself. He was left alone with negative thoughts and uncertainty of his place in the world without his wife and kids. Although it was his wife who called it quits, he couldn't help but immerse himself in self-hatred. The character even considered death as an alternative to living as a "failure" in his marriage.</p><p>What makes this story most entailing is the way Blake Hill started it off with the spiral. There were no happy moments leading to the death of this marriage. This story started off with a feeling we can all relate to, that is sorrow. Another reason why this story was enjoyable was because of the way Blake Hill identified marriage. It takes two to make a marriage and it also takes two to make a divorce. The character in this story is an example of how easy it is to lose yourself in a relationship. Loving your partner with all of your heart is wonderful, but it's also important to maintain your individuality. Thanks to Charlie, the character was able to learn how to find himself again.</p><p>This story has an abundance of meaning in it, but my favorite quote was "You have nothing until you reclaim your soul". This doesn't just apply to the character, this applies to anyone who has been gifted with a heartbeat. Without a soul, we are just shells living on autopilot life. As a hopeless romantic, it was hard to read about the death of a marriage, but the author did a fantastic job of unraveling the madness that was inside of the character's head. The author has shown me that even in the darkest of times, we are capable of loving, forgiving, and living again.</p><p><strong>Westfalia</strong> is a wildly imaginative novel that takes readers on a riveting adventure of hope and self exploration. This is an emotionally charged story that I found to be deeply contemplative and provides food for thought as well as the soul. https: //literarytitan.com/2021/07/05/westfalia/</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Blake takes us on his Hero's Journey with</strong></p><p><strong> so much adventure and soul searching that you find yourself looking deep within and asking how you can live a life filled with love."</strong></p><p><strong> </strong>PATRICK TAKAYA SOLOMON</p><p> Director of <strong><em>Finding Joe</em></strong><em> </em>and <strong><em>What is Money </em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>"If you allow the past to define your present, you will never get to live the life you were meant to live"</strong></p><p> OPRAH </p><br>
